Johnny Depp whisked his new bride Amber Heard and 50 other guests off to his private island on Saturday (08Jan15) to continue his wedding celebrations. The Pirates of the Caribbean star wed Heard in a civil ceremony in Los Angeles earlier this week (beg02Feb15), and they repeated their vows for a second time on a beach in front of family and friends on Depp's 45-acre island in the Bahamas, which he purchased 11 years ago.
One guest tells British newspaper the Sunday Express, "Amber did her own hair and make-up and Johnny was as laid-back as usual. But there has been a genuine glow about them since Wednesday, when they officially became man and wife... They wanted to do it all again on the beach and... (celebrate) with friends because they love the island and want it to be a continuing part of their lives together."
The couple met on the set of their film The Rum Diary in 2011, and they became engaged in 2013. Depp has two children from his previous relationship with Vanessa Paradis.

Johnny Depp is a married man, according to new reports. The movie star and his now-wife Amber Heard exchanged vows at their home in Los Angeles on Tuesday (03Feb15), according to People.com.
The newlyweds will stage a wedding party on Depp's private Little Hall's Pond Cay island in the Bahamas on Saturday (07Feb15).
Depp, 51, asked the 28-year-old actress to be his wife over the Christmas holidays.
The couple met on the set of 2011's The Rum Diary and started dating a year later after Depp split from his longtime partner, French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis - the mother of his two kids, Lily-Rose and Jack.

Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp is preparing to wed his fiancee Amber Heard next weekend (07-08Feb15), according to a U.S. report.
Depp, 51, became engaged to Heard, 28, last year (14) and a new report suggests they will tie the knot in an intimate ceremony on the actor's private island in the Bahamas in front of just 50 guests.
Editors of New York Post gossip column Page Six report the wedding will take place over the weekend of 7-8 February (15) and attendees will include Depp's children Lily-Rose, 15, and Jack, 12.
A source tells the publication, "(Heard is) filming a movie in London, and he's getting ready to film the next Pirates of the Caribbean in Australia. So this is the only time that everyone could get together."
Depp met the actress on the set of his 2011 movie The Rum Diary. He split from singer Vanessa Paradis, 42, the mother of his children, in 2012 after 14 years together.

Johnny Depp has met with the cocaine kingpin he portrayed in Blow following the convicted drug smuggler's release from prison last year (14). George Jung, who was one of the most notorious drug barons of the 1970s and '80s, walked free from a jail in New Jersey in June (14) after spending almost 20 years behind bars.
Depp portrayed him in 2001 film Blow, and he reportedly reached out to the movie's real-life inspiration last week (ends18Jan15) to arrange to meet for the first time since Jung walked free.
According to TMZ.com, the pair hung out at Depp's Los Angeles home with a friend and the actor's fiancee Amber Heard, enjoying a catch up and a few drinks.
A picture published on the website appears to show Depp and Jung clutching each other's hands while Heard nurses a glass of red wine.

Oscar-nominated actor Eddie Redmayne is learning to walk in high-heeled shoes for his new role as a transsexual.
The British star is preparing for a role in upcoming movie The Danish Girl in which he will play Einar Wegener, one of the world's first-known recipients of gender reassignment surgery who became a woman named Lili Elbe. Redmayne is perfecting the nuances of "feminine physicality" for the part, and is even learning to walk in women's shoes.
He tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "We're observing the minutiae of feminine physicality. We're looking at everything from a feminine perspective. How to sit, to walk, to pose, roll on a pair of stockings. How to put on a pair of heels and how to walk in them. Everything!"
The Danish Girl, based on David Ebershoff's 2000 novel of the same name, also stars Amber Heard and is to be directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Tom Hooper.

Johnny Depp and his fiancee Amber Heard silenced speculation suggesting they are heading for a split by sharing an intimate kiss while attending a pre-Golden Globe Awards gala on Saturday (10Jan15). The Hollywood couple, which became engaged a year ago (Jan14), has been dogged by rumours its relationship is on the rocks for several weeks, but The Rum Diary co-stars were all smiles at the weekend as they walked the red carpet arm-in-arm at the Art of Elysium's Heaven Gala in Santa Monica, California and then took their public display of affection one step further by locking lips.
Depp escorted his wife-to-be to the ceremony, where she was honoured with the Spirit of Elysium award for her fundraising efforts with officials at the arts organisation, which helps to brighten up the lives of seriously ill kids.
Other guests at the charity bash included Joaquin Phoenix, Zach Braff, Tobey Maguire, Minnie Driver, Camilla Belle and burlesque star Dita Von Teese.

George Clooney and his new bride Amal have topped a new celebrity sex tape wish list. The couple, who wed earlier this year (14) in Italy, have toppled Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge as the celebrities porn fans would most like to see making out, according to bosses at top sex tape distributor Vivid Entertainment.
The Clooneys have beaten out Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin to the top of the new list, while Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger come in third.
Vivid co-founder Steven Hirsch tells WENN, "George and Amal quickly gained our favour as the world's hottest couple with the speed of their romance and sheer glamour of their Italian wedding. We're confident that a sex tape starring this couple would be an instant international bestseller."
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds round out the new top five, while Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, new parents Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine, and Charlize Theron and Sean Penn make the top 10.

Ryan Adams is convinced Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has the talent and material to record his own album.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is a keen musician and has previously worked with Adams, Aerosmith and Sir Paul McCartney, as well as famously playing guitar on Oasis' 1997 record Be Here Now. Adams has now revealed Depp has been storing up guitar licks for a potential release, telling Off The Record magazine, "Johnny probably has 20 or 30 great riffs stored in his phone right now. I don't know if he's got enough actual tunes to make an album but he's definitely got the talent."
Adams has previously spoken about his work with Depp, telling music website Gigwise, "Sometimes we go through Johnny's phone because he plays guitar into his voicenotes, so he'll have some riff or some bridge or some chorus that he'll have done on a film set somewhere or whatever and he'll come round and play us a couple and I'll be like 'Oh man, let's put a verse there'... and an hour later the song is done."

The founders of Internet giant Google have hit back after a lawyer representing female stars caught up in the Hollywood hacking scandal accused them of failing to remove the leaked nude pictures from the web.
Actresses including Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Amber Heard and Kirsten Dunst were among those targeted by hackers who broke into their cloud storage accounts and stole their private pictures, and Hollywood attorney Marty Singer is now representing more than a dozen of those affected. He wrote a legal letter to Google chiefs Larry Page and Sergey Brin accusing them of failing to do enough to purge the images from the web, and the technology moguls have now responded by insisting they have removed thousands of snaps.
A spokesperson for Google tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "We've removed tens of thousands of pictures - within hours of the requests being made - and we have closed hundreds of accounts. The internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them."
Agents from America's Federal Bureau of Investigation began investigating the scandal in August (14) after the leaked pictures first surfaced on the Internet.

An attorney representing more than a dozen female stars who were targeted in the Hollywood hacking scandal has written a legal letter to bosses of Internet search engine Google urging them to help remove the snaps from the web.
Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, Scarlett Johansson, Amber Heard and Rihanna are among the celebrities who were targeted by hackers who broke into cloud storage devices and stole saucy photographs which were leaked online. Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer is representing more than 12 women who were affected by the scandal, and he has written a strongly-worded letter to Google bosses Larry Page and Sergey Brin accusing them of failing to do enough to remove the images from the web.
In the letter, obtained by New York Post gossip column Page Six, he writes, "(Google has failed) to act expeditiously, and responsibly to remove the images, but in knowingly accommodating, facilitating, and perpetuating the unlawful conduct. Google is making millions and profiting from the victimisation of women... Google knows the images are hacked stolen property, private and confidential photos and videos unlawfully obtained and posted by pervert predators who are violating the victims' privacy rights... Yet Google has taken little or no action to stop these outrageous violations... because the victims are celebrities with valuable publicity rights you do nothing - nothing but collect millions of dollars in advertising revenue... as you seek to capitalise on this scandal rather than quash it."

Summary

Like many up-and-coming actresses in Hollywood, Amber Heard made her mark playing overtly sexualized teens. But she steadily proved herself to be more than just a pretty face by tackling roles in a variety of genres, whether it was comedy, action or adventure. Heard launched her career with small parts on television shows like the hit teen drama "The O.C." (Fox, 2003-07), and had featured roles in "Friday Night Lights" (2004) and in "North Country" (2005). She also proved her comedic chops in the comedy "Pineapple Express" (2008) opposite Seth Rogen and James Franco. In 2011, Heard was cast in the much buzzed about drama series "The Playboy Club" (NBC, 2011- ), about the Bunnies and patrons of the famed Playboy Chicago hot spot in the 1960s. Projects with some of Hollywood's most bankable men in films like "Drive Angry" (2011) with Nicholas Cage and "The Rum Diary" (2011) opposite Johnny Depp further bolstered the young actress' increased visibility on the big screen. Beautiful, talented and not afraid to tackle controversy in either her professional or personal choices, Heard quickly became one of the most watched actresses in the business.
